Welcome to my website.

I am glad you stopped by. Thank you for your interest in my work.

I have sold over 60 short stories and articles to professional and semi-professional magazines. My first science fiction novel, FEVREBLAU, was published by Five Star Press in 2005. FEVREBLAU can be found in used bookstores, online dealers and libraries.

I am currently working on and writing dark fantasy more than any other genre. My novel Haxan was published by CZP in 2014.

Quaternity was published by CZP in 2015.

Writing Rules

1. TELL A GOOD STORY. This should be self-explanatory. Sadly, for many new writers, and a few professionals who should know better, this is a perpetual stumbling block.

2. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. Put more simply, write what you feel and don’t be afraid to take chances. A dangerous story has more going for it than a "safe" one.

3. PERSEVERE. You must have the courage to fail. Remember, the unsold story is the unread story. Sometimes it’s like banging your head against a brick wall. But writers who get published do so because they never quit trying.
